“Death comes and brings with him sickle and peace.”
What a fucking RAW line.
I am so glad I could not anticipate this sound. Mastodon manages to reinvent while preserving that which makes them Mastodon. What an amazing band.
This is a great comment.
Yes after 21 years - most bands put out the exact same album every few years.
This comment so much!
@CastAirLead I love it. But I would never have anticipated this particular sound. Like I said, they continue to reinvent their sound while staying faithful to who they are.
I definitely didn't anticipated that either tbh but what a pleasant surprise!
These dudes aren't musicians, they're travel agents that sell you tickets for cosmic journeys!
Amazing!👏
No. These dudes are true musicians, you can be sure.
@@sivadepilif and travel agents hehe
Yes friend a Cosmic journey to the center of your soul. Great comment Human!
True dat, yo!
No they are drug dealers that tickle your balls
Songs like this happen when bands are free, and just exist without outside tampering. I don't very often find myself saying " I wish they would do more of this thing, or that thing" I just enjoy the ride with them.
I wish they were still a metal band
And when they’ve listened to originals as King Crimson 🤷♂️
@@slaytronic Geez, Slayer was great 30 years ago until their sound didn't evolve with their fans. If this ain't metal what is it??
And what a ride it is
@@slaytronic bruh this is THE band to evolve as you grow with them.. along with opeth and others .. if you wanna stick to the early days that's on you but mastodon have been killing it with their evolution
Never clicked faster in my life
This is not at all what I expected but this is dope as hell
and this is exactly what mastodon is about
@@melchizedekful agreed. One of the appeals of Mastodon, at least for me anyway, is that each album has a different sound from the last. I really appreciate the growth and depth of these musicians and the more psychedelic sound on this album is something I'm really looking forward to
Very interesting song indeed!
This song.
Good, but far than a great song.
For a single, not what I expected too.
Mastodon is like your favorite pizza place, the topping combinations are varied and endless with many flavors to wet your palette, but the sauce and crust are always consistent and familiar.
Man, listening to the whole album is going to be a trip through emotion and space based on these snippets of songs
That’s how Crack The Skye was for me, getting the same feel and fucking loving it.
Getting real hyped
@@johnrademacher6175 Dude! I totally agree. If I had to pick a favorite album, it would be that one. After this song, I'm pretty damn stoked for the new one.
Brann continues to prove why he’s one the best drummers around
His drumming these days is far less impressive as his drumming on the first couple albums.
@@officialmetalwill Yes true, in the making of Emperor of Sand, he said some of the flashy fills have to go, "some of the butter had to come off". He is still a amazing drummer, contributes a lot with different elements.
@@agentfaz8759 which I understand. He scaled back a bit to try something different.
Danny Carrie disapproves this message 😂🤘metal 4eva
@@waylonmccellon7779 why? I said Brann is “ONE of the best”
3 bars 7/8 + 1 bar 8/8 structure in a verse. Y'all are madmen, this rocks.
@Danny Carvajal I am a bass player, guilty as charged lmfao
Well, Troy did tell us to excuse the madness....
genius
yeah i was feeling it, this song is legit
THANK YOU. I could tell it was some alternating eighth note thing but kept losing the downbeat
For anyone wondering, the vocalist at the beginning is the album engineer Tom Tapley's Daughter.
("Death comes and brings with him sickle and peace")
Cool!
Pushing the Tides.
Teardrinker.
Sickle and Peace.
3 pitches, 3 home runs. Damn, and this is a Double Album? There goes my queue for the next two months straight.
every song is different wow
🤙
Im so pumped I've been bleeding to finally discover these guys .... Huge fan ... Can't remember when I've been so inspired ...
Troy has become one of the best metal singers of this generation. 15 years ago he was very self conscious of his vocal abilities, and took vocal coaching lessons. That paid off in full, just listen to him now.
He’s a very unique voice and overall my favorite vocalist on mastodon. But each of them bring a special quality to their singing.
He's fantastic on this album
I really like Cavalera and Puciato, but he's also the best singer on both Killer Be Killed albums
They're all so talented both with their instruments and their voices. I know Billy K doesn't like to sing but will when he has to, and even he sounds great as a backup singer.
@@kolosse ??? Puciato all the way but troys vocals from the early mastodon albums was amazing don't care much for the current style of music and clean vocals
This was the most unexpected sound. This band continues to surprise us album after album. Long live the prog kings - may they never stop evolving!
I never listened to much prog before I listened to Mastodon but now Im discovering all kinds of weird and wonderful 70s albums because of getting into Mastodon 😃 Feels like Im coming home!!!!
@@davylongshanks525 You are doing the right thing. Prog music should never be pushed into someone's ears. The person who is really interested in discovering new sounds will eventually dive into this genre and quite probably will never leave it.
@@davylongshanks525 Checnut Genesis, dude
@CastAirLead Of course mate. Few years ago I learned to play Lady Fantasy on bass. I wish I could buy another one to keep playing it along the tune.
@@davylongshanks525 what are your fav mastodon tracks?
I love this so much it almost makes me want to cry
Cover it!
@@TheMightyYak want to see her playing and crying you sick human!
Ask shadow mantra steve for a collab cover then you can both cry together
Time to learn the song
I know!! Can't wait to listen to the whole album. I also loved the cover u guys did of Iron tusk!! Have u thought of covering also Sleeping Giant? That one is one of my many favorites from them.
How on Earth have I not listened to this band yet!? This is some of the best music I have ever heard. Damn.
welcome to the journey, its cosmic
🤘🤘
Great tune. Getting an early 80’s King Crimson vibe.
True
Three of a perfect pair
no.....
@@panths81 yes
@@PeterhoveOlsen That’s the one. Had frame by frame in my head but knew that was not quite right.
If this was people's introduction to Mastodon, they would've thought the band was on speed or cocaine with their their first few albums.
Mastodon has had one of the most incredible arcs on their musical development and maturation that I've ever seen.
"they would've thought the band was on speed or cocaine with their their first few albums."
but... weren't they?
@@bluesfortheredsun lol tru
@@bluesfortheredsun 🤣
@@bluesfortheredsun literally laughed out loud
I'm pretty sure Brent was on crack lmao
I don't know why I thought this album would disappoint me tbh, it's incredibly good
It feels like this band has taken us through 200,000 years of human evolution in the span of a couple short decades. Except they've gone beyond. From Caveman to Ethereal..
That chorus is amazing, I love Brann's singing. I hope there's some Brent vocals on the rest of the album though.
Brent does sing in this song
Love Brann's vocals
there is
@@KILLTHATCATofficial Rochester represeeent
Brent is my favourite, I too hope he sings in this album
The heavy part at the end could have lasted another 2 minutes. Troy’s vocals are top-tier
Agreed, I was hoping for one of those crushing outros from their early days. Still a great track.
makes me miss all the great old heavy stuff they used to do seeing them tour with dillinger escape plan was just weird they play none of their old songs anymore so it was heavy as fk band then a hour of space trip nonsense i respect the art but i just don't care for hippy metal
Agreed!
It's weird now to think of a time when Brann didn't sing.
That's what I've been thinking
We can all thank aqua teen hunger force
He’s been singing longer than he when he didn’t. Wild.
Was crack the skye the first record he sung on ??
@@CloneCommando501st nope. Call of the Mastodon was. He did vocals on Battle at Sea
"what music genre is your next album going to be?"
Mastodon: "yes"
Exactly 👍
Yes and yes. We all go "Thank you"
Yeah I’ve listened to the whole thing with a New Zealand VPN, it’s strange.
@@kidnamedalaska What, did you want every song to sound the same or something?
@@notsure1969 no, I gave it a second listen and it’s really good
I found them after "Crack the sky" and loved their music. But haven't listened to them a long time ago. And now I'm finding this wonderful tracks from their last album...Amazing surprise!
Super psychedelic, I dig the new direction with this one
This is phenomenal, I love how Mastodon keep their vocals back in the mix just a bit, they typically don't push the vocals in front of the mix so it doesn't sound on top, it's blended in the swirling sonic whirlpool of the music. Very good song, excellent production
Well, one reason for this is their singing has never been on the level of their extraordinary musical abilities. Love mastodon, but just saying…
The dude who produced Tool's Aenima and Lateralus produced this. David Bottril is his name and was recommended by Danny Carey.
@@rubaidaallen2764 Yeah I know of David Bottril, great producer so no wonder it sounds so damn good
@@m.ericwatson968 it sounds good to me. I don't get why other people say the mixing is bad.
@@m.ericwatson968
Indeed. 2 great Tool albums not to mention Peter Gabriel's stuff. Can't wait to hear the entire album and see these dudes on tour 🙌🙌
I wasn't this hyped for a new album since.. well.. Emperor of Sand.
Me too, bro.
Death comes and brings with him sickle and peace
Please excuse the madness
Of the situation I am in
Are we only united
For we both share the cause of this
You choose to apply logic
It's hard to ply where there is none
My detonation's unknown
Allow the man to walk in his shoes from here
Death comes and brings with him sickle and peace
Shelter from storms come with long flowing robes
Justifying all your control
I cease to mourn what never could be
No feeling's ever final
Just another scar I wear and hold dear
Death comes and brings with him sickle and peace
Shelter from storms come with long flowing robes
Falling down and losing ground
Save me from myself
All I've seen and all I know
I've not been this low
Now I stand up on my own
Learning from myself
Where I've been and where I'll go
Still remains unknown
Death comes and brings with him sickle and peace
Shelter from storms come with long flowing robes
Ahh Sleeping giant coming thru with the Lyrics. Thanks 🚬
Thanks for the lyric breakdown 👍✌️
THESE are the bands that keep the old torch lit. Kids, appreciate this music. This is a continuation of what was started in the late 1960s, and yet it manages to be fresh and unique. God Bless you Mastodon; please never stop doing your thing. Much love from East TN!
Please excuse the madness. What a song.
This song could be on any record they've made since '06, and fit perfectly in the mix
I tripped on a few hundred mics a couple weeks ago, and this song, and the entire album, was incredible. Great stuff! Mastodon is always so psychedelic.
Well yeah they used to do a shit load of drugs as a kid lmao 😂
This entire album on Shrooms is pure bittersweet bliss
the drum kit sound so good. the vocals are awesome, Brann and Troy killed it. the guitar tones are like the end solo in Pantera's "Floods". and a chunky doom sound punches through it all. I'm just hyped beyond reason for the album release on the 28th
Hmm, the drums sound really small, I've never liked their drum sound. Each to their own.
Absolutely agree with your assessment of the guitar tone! I can't get over that riff, gives me chills even as I type this now!
You’re reaching dawg, sounds nothing like dime. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
@@steventodds5950 Don't know what "small" means but I don't like how they sound either. They sound fake and compressed to me.
I have to respectfully disagree. I think the production/mix/mastering is really poor. The drums and vocals are lost in the mix with no definition or dynamics. The whole track just sounds flat, weak and overly compressed. Maybe it's the youtube compression, but I don't think so. The production became progressively worse after Crack the Skye. It's not just Mastodon though, it's most bands. The recent Iron Maiden album sounds absolutely awful.
The sp00ky & spiraling vibes remind me of some songs from Once More 'Round The Sun, but it feels more ethereal, these bois are truly tapping into the spirits for this record! R.I.P Nick John 🙌🏾
The execution of that first line "please excuse the madness".. chills every time
I have a feeling their music is super fun to play for them when they record and stuff. They mastered heavy in their earlier years. Now they're mastering song writing.
This song defines amazing to me: When a band can mix things together that don't sound like they fit together, but sound absolutely brilliant when combined into a song.
Best single release thus far. This shit takes you on a journey.
Very Jazzy. I like it. We need more Brent vocals though.
Brent vocals are great be what about Bill vocals??
Υou mean funky?
@@pascalg16 doesn't sound funky to me.. no bass slapping or anything.
@@Spineburger I'm referring to the guitar work.
Yeah. Kinda getting worried. As perfect and sick as this is, I hope there’s lots of Brent vocals
One of the best songs ever written
I don't think even Mastodon realizes how good a song this is.
I went to make a ultimate Mastodon Playlist and ended up just adding all the albums...this shit shreds my brain
I get some blood mountain vibes on this too. Especially the bridge part. It was nothing like I expected, but that's kinda what I expect from Mastodon. To be surprised.
Kind of a gone is gone vibe. I like it

Holy shit, proggy mastodon is BACK. This is beautufil.
These guys got all the tones. Dig the octave fuzz solo.
Can't wait to go see them with Opeth this December... Got my tickets!!
Me too dude, Salt lake city
DAMN this is one of the best songs Mastodon has written in years!! The prog, the power, the soaring vocals! This is gonna be stuck in my head forever.
OK, this one's a slow burn. So much to dig through. Love it.
the fuzz tone is awesome
9 days to go to the best album of 2021.
For me, it's competing with Colors II but I'm sure it'll be right up there from what I've heard so far. They never disappoint.
This and gojiras newest album are all I want
Wait…what has the Mighty Mastodon done now?
Completely switched it up on all of us yet…continuing to kick Holy ass.
Yeahhhhh!
Man, these guys are easily the best metal band of the last 20 years or so. Always unexpected, but never disappointing
Best band making music today. Bar none.
Absolutely 💯
Errr gojira? I do love mastodon a lot but gojira is definitely up there to!
@@liambarden1978 Gojira's vocals kinda turn me off.
I like gojira a lot but if Im jonesing to listen to them you could literally play whatever and it would quench the thirst. When I jones for Mastodon I want to listen something specific and you can never quench the thirst.
Y'all ever heard of Opeth?
This album is going to be an adventure.
Been off and on with this band on very minimum levels...
I dont know how I missed them but so glad I have re-redisco ered them.
This comes on every side where if I'm hearing melodic, then I'll get groove and swaying approach. If I want heavy, then yes I will, yet I'm getting not only solos but a solid ear assault of everything. Mastodon just pure freaking Mastodon, can't go wrong with them❤🤘🏾
what an incredible decision to release this as one of the singles. Power move. Mastodon is back, and i'm almost like, shame on me for thinking they ever weren't
This album is going to blow the hinges of any good music this year ! Epic !!
idk about that. Have you listened to Colors 2 yet? Also Every Time I Die comes out this Friday. I honestly don't think I can pick an AOTY because of the sheer amount of amazing albums that have come out this year.
Iron Maiden tho, and Archspire too
Hypocrisy, Cynic.
@@bcs986 Lol
@@colinw5604 Iron Maiden was so meh
My lunch break just got awesome
Love this band! Going to see them with Opeth November 27th in Dallas and can’t wait!
We have tix for the NY show!!! Enjoy the show, it's going to be epic!!
Does the venue you are attending require any type of COVID restriction? I cannot get a yes or no from the Ryman in Tennessee which is the closest show for me.
I'm gonna try to make the Denver date. Two of my favorite bands ever
@@BEARMETALHEAD84 At this time there are no restrictions for the Mastodon show at the Ryman. It varies from show to show.
Hollywood 12/1 checking in! Love Opeth too so this is going to be fiiiiiine
goddamn, this album is gonna be amazing.
Just discovered this song and Imma say this is so good been playing on repeat for an hour
Every song on this album is magic like this.
This is by far the best single off this album they've released. I absolutely love the verses, the odd measures of the verse gives an amazing dreamy feel to the song. I was disappointed by pushing the tides, but this song here has got me excited for the album. I can't wait to hear the heavier songs on the album.
pushing the tides didnt really grab me, teardrinker grew on me, but this sold me on first listen cant wait for the new record
Exactly the same for me. First ten seconds of this second I knew I was listening to something special
@@Tdrummer888 pushing the tides actually has grown on me quite a bit now, looking forward to the album
Asstodon never disappoints. This is on another level !! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Mastodoom
This song is beautiful and it’s gonna be stuck in my head like crazy
this has been i n my head forever. masssive amount of shrooms
well, everything i love about mastodon is here and even some more! vocal mixing is otherworldly
This is perfect. Mastodon. never. disappoints.
I listened to this a bunch of times on mushrooms. It just came on and I kept it on. Such a great song.
It's cool to see psychedelic metal like Mastodon.
Me rn lol
Bruh, I had no fuckin' idea there was new Mastodon coming. I am so happy right now.
I can’t stop listening to this track
From the album of the year, long live metal. Always 🤘
I sang this song so many times in my head that i can't believe it was released literally four days ago
My favorite track on the album. That guitar to start the song, with Troy leading us on a tour of compromised emotions from living life... And that hammer to bring us back down from the clouds.
Love the journey. Absolutely amazing work
Such a Crack the Sky vibe, love it!
These guys are the modern equivalent to Rush, hands down. Wow. They keep getting better and that is the hallmark of greatness. Long live mastodon.
I'd like to see Mastodon cover Rush songs, and in return, Rush covered Mastodon songs in return. Sadly it won't happen, Rush's drummer is dead.
7/8, 7/8, 7/8, 8/8 in the verse and 6/8 in the chorus. This is GREAT 🔥
memorable lead tone, great transitions, catchy melodies. 10/10 from em again
More Rush vibes here. Love the weird time signature!
Thank you Mastodon, for progressing your sound, not settling for just making a previous record again and showing us, just like bands such as Leprous, how much more progressive music has to give. Can’t wait for this album boys.
Edit - shit to god! The soul in that solo!
Sounds like a metal band covering a song that never made it on the album Drama by Yes. That's not a bad thing...
This is the music you listen to while traveling to the afterlife. Then you know you are in a different world. A better life in a better world.
I love this song the more I listen to it. It’s aging like Asleep in the Deep did for me
You can recognize when the music is written by Brent, specially when its an hybrid picking odd tempo arpeggio. Just beautiful.
do you know what the time sig is for this? sounds crazy
@@CloserToTheHurricane
7/8, 7/8, 7/8, then 8/8 for the four bar main riff. Or you could feel it as 2 of 7/8 then a bar of 15/8, but I think it's better to feel it as a four bar pattern with the last bar just having an extra eighth note
@@jacques_laconic7091 thanks man! Makes sense now. Insane. I agree about the extra 8th
@@jacques_laconic7091 Exactly
But it wasn't
So different but so good, it's like a combination of their sounds over time. The new album is going to be insane.
Fantastic blend from funk/Groove to metal
Jeff comes and brings with him pickle and cheese.
Sheltered from stilton avoiding the mold.
The absolute best band on the planet.
Holy crap. Instantly my favorite mastodon song in a long time.
That bass tone!!! WOW!!!!
Dream Theater with a plus of testosterone.
Probably my favourite of the three released so far. The last 20 seconds hit hard!
I’m absolutely enamored with the positive reception of Mastodon.
tired type of music, but i'm still a sucker for something like this, quite enjoy it
What a chorus! I've only ever loved one Mastodon album - Crack The Skye but Hushed & Grim is 🔥
Every fuckin' song on this album is brilliant. Thank you.
I love how these guys never stop pushing themselves.
That moment when you get more than you expected because you thought it couldn't get any better and zaz!
Shades of This Mortal Soil and Bedazzled Fingernails. My other 2 favorite Mastodon songs.
